Transparency International UK

We are the UK Chapter of the world's leading non-governmental anti-corruption organisation, Transparency International (TI). With more than 90 Chapters worldwide, and an international secretariat in Berlin, TI has unparalleled global understanding and expertise.

  • We raise awareness about corruption
  • We advocate legal and regulatory reform at national and international levels
  • We design practical tools for institutions, individuals and companies wishing to combat corruption
  • We act as a leading centre of anti-corruption expertise in the UK.

Corruption is the abuse of entrusted power for private gain. It hurts everyone whose life, livelihood or happiness depends on the integrity of people in a position of authority.
